Does anyone "out there" know the oldest recorded age of a mare in foal and whether or not the foal (and the mare,of course) survived the delivery? Thanks for all yur help!

I was given a 29 year old Arabian mare with severe breathing problems. The person who gave her to me had a stallion and as it turned out the mare was bred and about 8 months after I got her, she had a filly from that breeding. The foal was ok but for the first week the mare had no milk at all . It was very difficult and time consuming to feed the baby. Then after a couple more weeks---her milk came in and she raised that foal just fine. So, when she was 30, I bred her to my stallion and she had another fine filly but again---she had to have a lot of help feeding her. When the filly was about 4 1/2 months old---I could see the mare was going to die and I hoped that she would last at least until her baby was 5 months old. The week before she went down---she weaned the foal---just pushed her away. The day the filly(whom I named Finale) was 5 months old, her Mom went down and did not get up. Because I expected the mare to die, I took a lot of time to give the baby supplemental food so she did thrive. She is extremely people-oriented as a result of being an orphan

The "OLDEST" horse recorded to date is - "Old Billy", an English Barge horse born in 1760 who lived to the age of 62 years old.
The"OLDEST" pony in history was 54 years old when he died in France.
The "OLDEST" horse ever to give birth was a 42 year old Australian brood mare
that's amazing considering that their lifespan is 20-25 years

The living record right now it is "Cooper" who is 51.
The oldest mare to give birth was 42.

There's a 43 year old horse right now at the place where I volunteer. They give riding lessons to kids with disabilities and this horse refuses to let himself be retired and still does 1 hour every week.
